Brandon's Big Blessing

Brandon was growing frustrated in his position because things he had been promised had not come to fruition. Part of that was due to a manager who let the department go downhill. Then CoVid happened and caused more delays. Brandon talked his disappointment over with Clint and I many times, and we could tell he was very discouraged.

We encouraged Brandon to keep praying and looking to the Lord for direction. Our whole family joined him in those prayers. He felt God was telling him to stay put, so that's what he did.

It paid off! He did not get the raises and higher ranking he had been promised and had been looking forward to receiving. No, God had something much better in store for our hard working son.

Brandon is now the Tech Support Supervisor over SIX industrial plants and has five men working under and directly reporting to him! He received a total increase of $25k and will have many extra perks, bonuses, and regular pay increases. He is also given a higher percentage of the company's bonus payouts than he was receiving before. He also has a new boss who was recently hired to correct the issues left by the former.

When the position came open, Brandon was so discouraged by his job that he wasn't going to apply. He did not feel he was qualified. Clint and several others encouraged him to apply anyway. Some of those others included every single man who is now working under him! He has the support of his entire team!

Brandon was told he was given the job because he has the drive and work ethic they want and also is a faithful and responsible person who has shown great integrity. 

This position takes Brandon further along the path he wants to pursue. The next step will likely have him moving to another state. 

Please join our entire family in praising and thanking the Lord for His goodness to Brandon!


Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God 

so that at the proper time he may exalt you
